Plexiglass can develop a milky fog over time and scratches easily.
I had a similar project and consulted my local glass company. They sell and install plexiglass. After reviewing the material characteristics, we decided to use glass since for best appearance over time.

New Wood shutters are sprayed at the factory with special paint that is much more durable than ...»
trim paint. This added durability is necessary to stand up to the extreme conditions in a window (direct sun, high temperature, humidity changes etc.).
I have seen DIY paint jobs that look fine initially but the direct sunlight dries them out causing the top finish to crack into a racu effect. To avoid destroying your expensive shutters during DIY repaint, I recommend having the shutters resprayed using the special paint for shutters at a shutter factory.
My company does respray shutters. Normally we pick up the shutters, paint with a custom color to mach your trim and reinstall for you. While the shutters are offsite, it is a perfect time to have the window trim repainted. The process may take a week or more but it is worth it to enhance the value of your home.
